Trend alerts, wardrobe staples and the pieces we’re wearing, wanting and wishlisting.

TREND ALERT: The Midi Dress

TREND ALERT: The Midi Dress

We've talked about it before, but the lengthening of hemlines has been such a big influence in trends over the past couple seasons. I don't know about you, but when I was in college I would never be caught dead wearing a dress or skirt beneath my kneecaps, no way....

Summer Shift

Summer Shift

When I think of Lilly, I think of bold prints for derby parties, graduations, luncheons, etc. Though I do love these colorful fabrics and adorable prints, I have found I reach for more "everyday" wear when getting dressed. Last summer, my mom sent me a simple navy and...

The Non-Work Pencil Skirt

The Non-Work Pencil Skirt

Ok, ok, we all know I have an obsession with crop tops. I've loved them ever since I was little (the perfect Caribbean outfit), so there's no denying I have been stocking up since the trend resurfaced a couple years ago. For the Liketoknow.it Anniversary Party during...

Lace Romper

Lace Romper

Fun. Flirty. Feminine. No item is more perfect for a day with the girlfriends than a little romper paired with heels. One thing I find hilarious about rompers is the expression on a guy's face when you say the word "romper" - whether they don't understand the term or...

TREND ALERT: Gingham

TREND ALERT: Gingham

Say hello to one of Spring's hottest prints: gingham. Whether this print reminds you of classic 50's chic, a warm-weather update on plaid, or even a festive summer picnic, gingham is all the rage from runway to street style and I just adore it. For a feminine weekend...

#rsthecon: Stuart Weitzman Pool Party Look

#rsthecon: Stuart Weitzman Pool Party Look

Well friends, the rewardStyle Conference has officially begun, and I can already tell that this year is going to be just as much fun (if not MORE!) that last year. In case you aren't familiar with #rsthecon, it's one of the biggest fashion events of the year where the...

The Skirt for Everyone

The Skirt for Everyone

Though the classic prep look isn't usually my go-to shopping style, digging in my mom's closet for fun new finds when I'm home is always a thrill. Since Destin-style is generally a lot more casual than Dallas-style, I wanted to find a way to mix both looks for dinner...

Bishop Sleepwear: The Nightie With A Purpose

Bishop Sleepwear: The Nightie With A Purpose

Any roommate that has ever lived with me will know that I've always been a "nightie" kind of girl. With the exception of my silk pant pajama set I wear on occasion (generally traveling), a nightgown is always my #1 choice for sleepwear. With that in mind, it's safe to...

Beach Maxi

Beach Maxi

There's nothing I enjoy more than getting to come home to the beach for an extended stay of relaxation and family time, and I have to admit I'm pretty lucky I get to call the coast "home". With beautiful beaches and quaint little neighborhoods all along 30A, a break...

Wedding Season

Wedding Season

The time has come. I am officially filling up my calendar with wedding after wedding for 2015. Though I am more than excited to celebrate the marriages of some of my closest friends, I definitely need to take a little shopping spree to update my "wedding dresses"....

Cobalt Addition

Cobalt Addition

A stock of white dresses is an absolute must for the warmer months, but finding the right accessories to transform the look is key. To add a bold touch to this simple white piece, I paired oversize blue statement earrings with a cobalt patent clutch to channel the...

Bye, Bye Bikinis

Bye, Bye Bikinis

As a girl who grew up in a bikini almost every weekend, I never thought I'd see the day where I'd find a one-piece to be a must-have daring beach look. The one-pieces of the past used to be a way to hide your figure, but today's suits range from vintage sophistication...
